ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS NJ De Elthef
Cummings or Perretts IA Turn Ia
BILE at Kittridge.
WHO WILL IT BE?
There is considerable anxiety to know
who is to be the new superintendent of
the Racine & Southwestern division of
the c.. NJ. s. St. P. road. On the first
of July Supt. d. L. Bush leaves for Aber-
deem, Dakota, to take charge of 1870
miles of St. Paul road, and great deal
of construction work 1t will be quite a
promotion for Mr.. Bush, and while his
numerous friends in this city and along
the line of the Racine division will be
sorry to see him go, they are no less
pleased that he is meeting the reward he
merits. The high standard of excellence
which this division of the st. Paul road
has attained, speaks volumes in praise of
Mr.. Bush's qualifications as superin-
tendent, and the warm personal regard
in which he Is held by all employees of
the roads attests his sterling worth as a
man.
Mr.. Bush's successor has not yet been
| named, or at least no public announce
ment has been made to such effect
There is a general desire among the rail-
| road men to have one of the passenger
conductors promoted 10 the position
Conductor Perrett is the oldest man in
point of service and years on this division
although Conductor Cummings outrank'
him in continuous service, Mr.. Perret'
having left the employ Of the company a
one time. He ran the first train into Por

company. and are thoroughly competen
to perform the arduous duties Of super
intendent tits rumored, however, tina
a stranger to this division will be ap
pointed. 1t is expected that MIR. Busl
will be down this way before long to in

The medicine has been made oyer fifty years in Georgia, but has only within the last ten years been prominently brought to the notice of the public. The firm which manufactures this medicine IS the ! largest drug establishment in the South, and unites with an immense capital, the most correct and sue cesstul business methods, thor oughly protecting all who trade with them, and giving every one, ! from the smallest dealer to the largest houses, fair profit on their goods, Their success and the ex- tent of their business can better he appreciated by a knowledge of the fact that their annual sales in Evansville reach many thousands of dollars. and then advertise this season only in the Courier and the Public. Such success could only be attained with thoroughly reliable remedy, and this fact al most makes it unnecessary to say word in its favor, further than l the testimonials which will he seen i to day on the third page of the Courier.
